JFrog Ltd., has opened new hosting centers in Canada for companies who want to run JFrog software on AWS and Microsoft Azure, according to a recent news release.
“Canadian businesses are increasingly looking to the cloud to help them be more agile, scalable, and optimize TCO by spreading critical workloads across multiple domains both public and private,” Shlomi Ziv, JFrog vice president of Global Cloud Solutions, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to work with our partners at AWS and Microsoft on delivering new hosting infrastructures in-region to support our joint customers’ transitions to the cloud.”
Canada has strict residency and "data sovereignty" requirements which make it challenging to use public clouds to share or collect data from outside the country, the news release stated.
"By now, having public cloud data centers located in Toronto for Microsoft Azure and Montreal for AWS, Canadian-based organizations utilizing the JFrog Platform in the cloud can do so while complying with national data protection requirements," the release stated. "These new regional cloud data centers are also expected to help deliver reduced latency, higher performance, and business continuity options for local companies."
About 90% of Canadian companies use cloud computing services, Business Wire reported.
"As more Canadian-based companies advance their digital transformation initiatives, the JFrog platform can help teams deliver software releases more quickly and efficiently so they can innovate faster and deliver ahead of the competition," the report said.
JFrog is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
